'We very much like our lives, so we will continue to put it off, it seems like, for a little while...I've had my friends be like, "Yeah, it really was hard on our relationship." I'm not saying we couldn't overcome it, but, again, we really get along and have a very good dynamic. She works very hard, and a lot as well, so when we're together, we really try to enjoy each other and hang out.'
The bearded funnyman inherited his sense of humor from his eccentric parents Sandy and Mark, whom he financially supported at age 17 while starring in NBC's Freaks and Geeks.

'I remember my dad [who worked for the government] being like, "In this year you will make more money than I made my entire life,"' the Independent Spirit Award nominee recalled.
'I was happy to have enough money that everyone could have money.'
Seth finds it hilarious that his grandmother gets uncomfortable about his father's habit of wearing cross-body purses.
'My grandmother hates when my dad wears a purse. And around her he still wears a purse but in more muted colors,' Rogen explained.

Seth explained: 'He'll wear pretty bright purses, generally speaking. He buys his own, like a Le Sportsac or Kipling purse. But then, recently, I found myself talking to my wife, like, "Man, I have too much s*** in my pockets, I wish there was a thing I had where I was able to keep this s***." And she's like, "You mean like a purse, you motherf***er?" This is how it happens'

And while the frat packer has made a name for himself playing stoned slackers, he writes, produces, directs, acts, runs Hilarity for Charity with Lauren as well as his own weed brand Houseplant.
'I really always worked hard, because I recognized from a pretty young age it was one of the only things I could control,' the pottery enthusiast said.
'I remember I did karate as a kid, at the Jewish Community Center, and when I started I was the worst in the class, I was the worst of 25 Jewish kids who were afraid of getting picked on. And then just because everyone else quit, three years later I was at the top of the class, and there were 25 Jewish kids who were worse than me. And that was always tangible: Just by not stopping I became the best one. It wasn't this, like, ferocious leap. I just kept going, and slowly [other] people stopped. Because a lot of people will stop.'
'It honestly was not a movie I would have gone out to go see': Of all his successes, Seth learned a lot when he had to promote his role as Matt Dillon's friend Neil in the Russo Brothers' dismally-reviewed 2006 comedy You, Me and Dupree
Rogen recalled: 'I actually remember doing a radio interview, being like, "Yeah, go see it, it's great," and being like, Ugh. Never again do I want to have to tell people to go see a movie that I myself actually wouldn't see' (pictured April 30)
But of all his immense successes, Seth learned a lot when he had to promote his role as Matt Dillon's friend Neil in the Russo Brothers' dismally-reviewed 2006 comedy You, Me and Dupree.
'It honestly was not a movie I would have gone out to go see...It's okay, the Russo brothers did fine [with Avengers: End Game],' laughed Rogen.
'I actually remember standing in my f***ing closet in my apartment on Hayworth, doing a radio interview, being like, "Yeah, go see it, it's great," and being like, Ugh. Never again do I want to have to tell people to go see a movie that I myself actually wouldn't see. It's hard enough to promote a movie. When you're also morally corrupting yourself, it's a real bummer.'
The Singularity director added: 'I don't care if people think I'm f***ing smart or some genius or how hardworking they think I am. The fact that they don't think I'm lying to them to get them to go see my movies is something I appreciate.'
